The Coachella Valley is already ranked as having "serious" PM 10 pollution by federal regulators. But proponents of the arena say those issues were already considered in Despite the projected high air pollution and other major impacts, then-county supervisors approved the overall North Star development specific plan, issuing a "statement of overriding considerations" that concluded the economic benefits to be gained trumped public health concerns from blowing dust and other tailpipe emissions.

The formal EIR addendum prepared by the county incorporated new state and local laws and policies enacted since , but SAFER experts said the report did not adequately address them. The approval included no specifics on the number of jobs the North Star plan was expected to generate. The arena project will create jobs for up to 60 regular employees on non-event days and up to jobs for event days, ranging from food sales to security, according to county planners.

OVG officials say "full-time equivalent" jobs could be created, and as many as 1, construction jobs. Unlike many sports arenas, the project is to be financed privately, with no public funds. There were other issues addressed in the arena studies. Noise was identified as a possible concern, but traffic consultants concluded that much of it — even from heavy construction machinery or thousands of cars arriving for an event — would be masked by the rumble of big rigs and other highway traffic.

They said event traffic would occur outside peak commuter hours. OVG is also seeking approvals for more roadway signs than are currently allowed under scenic highway corridor protections. When the arena was first proposed in on tribal land owned by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in Palm Springs, irate residents there placed an ad in the Los Angeles Times, calling on the governor, the attorney general and federal authorities to study the "true polluting potential" from the "massive building," including increased car trips, water and sewer usage, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Cary Brazeman, leader of Palm Springs Together, which ran the ad, said his group is debating over the new location. He personally now supports it, with some caveats. He said that might mean limiting the number of tickets sold when air pollution is high, so car trips can be reduced, or limiting the total number of events. Terry, the Desert Hot Springs environmentalist, said bringing attendees to and from hockey games on a train out of Ontario or Los Angeles could alleviate pollution and traffic.

There are no such plans, and he said freight train operators that often control railway corridors in the region have objected to new passenger line proposals in the past, but thinks they should be fought for. Since the switch to the new site, chambers of commerce, tourism bureaus and even neighbors like the Palm Desert campus of Cal State San Bernardino and Xavier Preparatory School have all sent letters of support to the county.

SAFER is a relatively new organization formed in that has commented on or challenged large projects across Southern California. On official documents filed with the California Secretary of State, SAFER lists an address and key officers that are identical to the address and officers on the union local's web page.
